Dished: Dexter's Deadly Drink

Receive the latest food-drink updates in your inbox

Todd Thrasher, the mixologist at Restaurant Eve, has created a cocktail called 'The Dexter,' which combines blood (naturally) oranges, pomegranates, Averna Amaro, 42 below Vodka, egg whites, molasses, and powdered sugar. The drink is inspired by Dexter's signature technique: slicing the victim's face and letting the blood drip down. The result is an eerie-looking, but undeniably delicious drink that might have you screaming... with joy, of course. See all the pics here.

We're not sure how much we want to change about this dessert, though: Layers of vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream, rich caramel and a pinch of salt. Find more deals at The Feast.
